The Division is currently home to 75 research scientists and staff scientists, 17 research fellows, and more than 674 employees. The DOR also has 46 adjunct investigators from within Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) and other academic institutions. DOR’s scientists are involved in 612 ongoing research projects and the KPNC Clinical Trials Program supports and guides 326 active clinical trials following 3,917 members.
